UTILE DOS AND GREAT SERVICE

Dishmop—not I lie? implement ol' warfare against rei'raotOry dishes, but a little Krone!! poodle which m times of neglect bore- a striking resemblance to the kitchen utensil—is to be the subject of a mom>nal by the students and members ol tin faculty of Mount Holyoke College, Boston, U.S.A. (says the ‘Christian Science Monitor ’). Dishmop was a. loved and loving little dog, and in his everyday activities it may he said that be personified, or rather “ doggilied,” my and happiness. There was nothing bigoted, however, about Dishmop Ho seemed to he able to absorb all the “ isms ’ that a college atmosphere imparts and iranstorm them into a doctrine of universal love. This little dog performed a great service at Mount Holyoke College. That outward manifestation of a'dog’s happiness and Inendlincsa, the wagging rail, never could have been, more pronounced ilian it was in Dishmop, who is said to have actually shaken with joy whenever a friendly hand was la : d upon his shaggy brow. And it was ■ this that Dishmop became a sort oi ambassador of friendship among the Modems. He “introduced" many a shy Irediman not only (o other freshmen, hot. also to members of the higher classes. 1 here was no formality in Dishmop's methods. He was what popularly known as a “ good mixer,” ami in mingling with tho students he brought them all together. not in tne serious atmosphere of the classroom, l.ni in the lighter and Jess restrained envimiment of the campus, where lasting friendships are begun. Surely Dishmop was worthy of all tho honors that the students propose to pay to him.
